Implication

May warrant long-term cognitive monitoring after CABG; leaves open whether microemboli represent modifiable targets.

Structured PICO

Does coronary artery bypass surgery lead to cognitive change over 5 years in patients undergoing the procedure?

Population

107 participants undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery

Intervention

Coronary artery bypass surgery

Outcome

Overall neuropsychological (NP) change score measured by 11 tests at 6 days, 8 weeks, and 5 years postoperatively

Cognitive decline is detectable up to 5 years after CABG, with intraoperative microemboli and early postoperative cognitive changes predicting long-term outcomes.
